The way we arrange our classrooms says more than we think. From the placement of desks to what’s on the walls, these choices quietly communicate expectations, priorities, and student roles.

This episode explores how to design a classroom space that fosters student collaboration, encourages rich discussion, and supports active learning. You’ll come away with practical strategies for defronting your classroom, rethinking desk groupings, organizing materials, and creating wall displays that elevate student voice.
